In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter captain Mauro ICARDI spoke about the Argentina National Team, turning down Italy and more. Here’s what he had to say:
“My dream is to wear the shirt of the Argentina National Team and it’s for that reason that I turned down the call-up from Italy. My goal is to keep doing well to convince BAUZA to call me up. With that said, I know that I’m young and that Argentina has the best forwards in the world. I’m going through this all very calmly.”
“In the future, I hope to win lots of trophies with Inter. When I came here, it was because I felt a fan of the club and because I wanted to win a lot. In ten years, I hope to win league titles and at least one Champions League.”
“My teammates tell me I am very mature despite only being 23 years old and I agree. I left home at 13 to travel to Barcelona which has helped me mature.”
